He’d Know Better Than I Would

While out to eat yesterday, my four-year-old announced that he needed to go the bathroom, so Lala told him that she’d take him.

“I don’t want to go to the girls bathroom!” he protested. “I want to go to the boys bathroom with my dad.”

Knowing that he’s reaching that age where kids start to take serious notice of gender, him saying this wasn’t a total surprise, but it was the first time he’d ever expressed such a sentiment, so I asked him why he didn’t want to go to the girls bathroom.

“Because,” he answered, “there’ll be a ton of girls in there, and it’ll be too noisy!”
